OLP Tony Levin truss rod wheel replacement

[tauzero]

When I got the OLP Tony Levin, I hadn't realised that it was missing a truss rod wheel. But it was, and I needed to adjust the truss rod. I took the neck off and checked the truss rod end, which took a 4mm hex key. Grainger Guitar Parts sell truss rod wheel adaptors to fit 4mm adjusters, so I bought one (and then found that the short one that I'd bought was too short, so bought the standard one). The scratchplate covers part of the cutout for the truss rod wheel, and as the adaptor is longer than the original, it fouled the scratchplate. So I needed to do a little Dremelling.

 

Trimmed scratchplate:

 

 

Neck installed:

 

 

Strung up:

 

 

And everything works as it should.
